Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Project Leader from Mexico in the Field of Corrosion Science
Client’s Testimonial:
“I would like to let you know that I got my green card. THANKS for your help during this process.”
On January 8th, 2016, we received another EB2- NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Project Leader in the Field of Corrosion Science (Approval Notice).
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Project Leader
Country of Origin: Mexico
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Ohio
Approval Notice Date: January 8th, 2016
Processing Time: 6 months, 24 days
A project leader from Mexico recently got his green card thanks to meticulous work done by the team at North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com). With a Master’s and a Ph.D. in materials and corrosion, our client’s EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) dossier included proof that no other scientist with similar credentials in the field of corrosion science is able to match his achievements.
In his petition, we included an account of his citation and publication record, which, as of filing, stood at 152 and 5 respectively. We also demonstrated the significance of our client’s work in his field by detailing his findings on corrosion and corrosion management in pipelines. We argued that our client’s investigations help other corrosion scientists to better understand corrosion, which in turn enables companies in the United States and abroad to predict this phenomenon ahead of time. This knowledge affords industries the chance to apply proper catastrophe mitigation strategies and keeps the country’s oil logistics intact.
Furthermore, we helped our client narrow down a list of recommenders who could testify to the importance of his research. As one independent recommender wrote, “[Client’s] successful developments in this field so far are crucial to preventing catastrophic failures in oil pipelines, and in this way his work is absolutely necessary to safe oil transportation in the future.” This testimonial, along with several others submitted to the USCIS, strengthened our client’s case, which was swiftly approved by the USCIS.
We congratulate this project leader on getting his green card, and we wish him the best in his future endeavors in the United States.
